Walking out of the warm study room, the cold wind blew, and I felt refreshed. After a long corridor, the two of them walked between a bamboo forest in the garden.

The green bamboos are still crisp and rippling even in the winter. There was originally snow on it, but they were cleaned up by the palace people, because both the emperor and the queen like to walk in this bamboo forest. Naturally, Eunuch Le could not allow them to be covered with snow. Besides, the queen is becoming more and more pregnant now, and it is difficult to walk. What if a pile of snow falls from her head and hits someone while walking in the forest?

However, Qin Feng and Min Ruoxi did not allow him to clean up the snow in the forest. They liked to walk in the snow and leave a series of footprints behind them.

In a snow-white world, there is such a small bunch of green that makes the picture more vivid.

But now the people who were walking in the bamboo forest were talking about nothing about the love, flowers, snow and moon, but a matter of iron and blood.

"How much has the transformation of the First Fleet been completed?" Qin Feng reached out and fell an ice piece from the petals above the bamboo joints, put it in his mouth and sucked it.

"The three docks of Baoqing Shipyard, two docks of Huludao Naval Base and two repair platforms are now fully started. The workers are divided into two shifts and stop workers without stopping work. So far, the renovation of the Ming Dynasty and the other two warships has been completed. The sea trials have been started and new tactics and styles of play have been practiced. With the steam engine and artillery warships, their tactical styles have also undergone earth-shaking changes. Ning Zeyuan said in the report that they are still exploring." said the kitten.

"The progress is a bit slow!" Qin Feng frowned.

"Your Majesty, it's already very fast. Ning Zeyuan, Yu Cong, Ke Dongye and others have been sleeping in the shipyard day and night. This is not a small project. It's easy to add artillery, but removing the original power equipment and replacing it with steam motors is a major event that can hurt the bones. With the current speed, I'm actually quite surprised." The kitten defended.

Qin Feng smiled at the bottom of his own: "I'm too impatient."

"Your Majesty is a little worried?" the kitten asked in a low voice.

"I'm very worried." Qin Feng nodded: "There is another intelligence sent back in Manila. The main battleship of the Tiger Dynasty is actually an iron armored ship. Although they don't have artillery guns, the iron armored ships should not be underestimated. If it weren't for the artillery and steam power to support our fleet, to be honest, I really don't have much confidence."

"Iron Craft?" The kitten smiled: "It's nothing more than hanging a layer of iron plates outside the wooden boat, right?"

"It's not that simple!" Qin Feng smiled: "And, their numbers are indeed quite large. Our intelligence collection is not comprehensive, but even if we have observed, their armored warships have exceeded 200, which is really an extremely huge and terrifying number."

"It was originally rumored that they had thousands of warships. I always thought it was spreading rumors, but I didn't expect it to be true?" The kitten said in shock.

"It's true." Qin Feng said: "In terms of the number, it's more than ten times that of ours. And we can't throw all four fleets into it at once? How could the Qi people miss such a good opportunity? Kitten, once we fight in Manila, the Qi people will also be dispatched. That's not just a matter on the sea."

"Your Majesty will probably take action in the west?"

"I don't know." Qin Feng shook his head: "But the Tiger Dynasty has unified the mainland for several years. In terms of internal affairs, I am afraid they have straightened out the overseas trade data reported by the Ministry of Commerce in the past few years. I looked carefully and saw that it has been growing explosively over the past few years. What does this mean? It means that their national strength is recovering, the economy is recovering, and the purchasing power of the people has greatly enhanced. What we exported there is not only silk, cotton imitation, tea, and porcelain, but also all-inclusive. As long as these things are shipped there, they will be snatched away immediately. This has already shown the other party's national strength from one level."

"In this way, it should not be underestimated." The kitten said solemnly.

"So I hope the transformation of the warship can be faster. A fully steam-pushed artillery warship will allow us to ensure victory in this war." Qin Fengdao.

"Why must your Majesty confirm that Dance will call him?"

"I said earlier that a powerful emperor will not stop his own conquest." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Just like me, we all have great desire for the curiosity in the distance and the land in the distance. Kitten, have you not inserted the Ming Dynasty flag into every corner of the world and built our Ming Dynasty into an empire that will never set?"

"The Empire of the Sun Will Not Set?" the kitten murmured.

"Yes, the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. When we are in darkness here, the west is the moment when the sun rises!" Qin Feng smiled at the kitten.

The kitten widened his eyes, a little unthinkable about Qin Feng's statement. Qin Feng shrugged and did not want to explain that people of this era still think that the earth is flat, and when the sun comes out, it will naturally shine on the world. They cannot understand why the east becomes dark and the west becomes bright.

But Qin Feng was also very clear that as the Ming Dynasty's sea ships were getting bigger and bigger, and they went further and further, the outline of the world was finally explored by these adventurous people. At that time, people would naturally find that the place where they lived was actually round. Now, even if Qin Feng foamed at the mouth, he was afraid that even his own hardcore confidants would not believe it, except for wild dogs. He was afraid that he would say that the sows would climb trees, so he believed it.

"Then your Majesty, I will go to Baoqing and Huludao in person?" said the kitten.

Qin Feng shook his head: "No need, you said that they have been going day and night. What can you do if you go? The most urgent thing now is to firmly control the sea area of ​​Manila first. Lei Wei is not going well, and the Ministry of War will give strong support."

"I read the military newspaper sent back by Lei Wei, but it was two months ago. Those island countries seem to be small in size, but the situation on the island is too complicated. Besides, Luo Yishui and Chen Ci and others are not very cooperative, and they even have some slight remarks about where we are fighting. They want to do this by themselves, but they don't want us to intervene too much. With them pulling their backs, Lei Wei's things will be even more difficult. Moreover, Luo Yishui and others don't believe that the Tiger Dynasty will attack in large numbers, or even if they believe it, they are confident that they can block the opponent's attack."

"School!" Qin Feng said coldly: "Those people in the west, in terms of war, are not weaker than us. You have also seen those Westerners who have fallen into our Ming Dynasty. Their physiques are taller and stronger than us. Although these people are now like sick cats in our place, it is because this is our home court. If he dares to thorn and destroy him with his backhand. But what if there are thousands of such people? Luo Yishui still has to withstand them with his own strength? It's really a dream. He really made a mess and let the Westerners use it as a springboard to attack us. We will be in trouble."

"What your Majesty means is, we will intervene deeply?"

"In-depth intervention." Qin Feng said decisively. "Select a general who is good at mountain warfare. In addition, draw the Hawks from the Ministry of State Security and the special forces directly under your Ministry of War. I need only one voice, one will, and noises there, all of them will disappear to me, even Luo Yishui and Chen Ci."

"Your Majesty, Murong Hai is undoubtedly the one who is best at mountain combat, but he is now confronting Tuobayan in Hengduan Mountains. Although he is at a disadvantage, he still firmly seals the Hengduan Mountains. He can't move!" said the kitten.

"Why use a knives to kill a chicken?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "You ask Murong Hai to recommend a few capable candidates to you. After you have another investigation, you can choose a few. Try to start a month later. Let Ning Zeyuan take his Ming and several transformed warships to transport it, and let them hone the cooperation issues in long-distance combat."

The kitten nodded, "When the past is over, it is still the Lei Guard?"

"Lei Guard is the main general, and the person sent to him later is the deputy, but he told Lei Guard to listen to the meaning of this person when marching and fighting, and as for other matters, he will take charge of it himself."

“Is it still not directly replaced the rule of the locals?”

"Of course not." Qin Feng glanced at the kitten strangely, "In this case, we will be trapped in the quagmire. We will use the barbarians to govern the barbarians and support our forces. Of course, we must completely obey our forces and tell Lei Wei to knock on Luo Yishui well for me, and don't think that I can't deal with him if I am far away from the mountains and rivers of Daming."

"I understand." The kitten said: "Your Majesty, can you still ask Chen Zhihua to write a letter to tell him the relationship between father and son?"

Qin Feng smiled: "This also makes it possible to think about it carefully. Maybe it will cause some dirty things between Luo Yishui and Chen Ci. This will make it easier for us to control where we control!"

"Then your majesty, I'll do it now." said the kitten.

Qin Feng nodded, suddenly remembered something again, pointed to the kitten and said, "Don't try to escape what you do in the study. I will send a learned eunuch from the palace to teach you specifically. You are my brother, and you have to do everything ahead of others to be considered as giving me a face."

The kitten's face suddenly collapsed.
